UniBank Greenway Challenge - September 29th

AN ADVENTURE RACE... LIKE NO OTHER!

The mission of the Unibank Greenway Challenge is to promote the recreational quality of life in the Blackstone River Valley. A program of the Whitin Community Center, presented by Unibank and supported by other partner organizations, the Greenway Challenge supports clean water campaigns, hiking and biking trails, wildlife projects, environmental education and development of waterway access.
Each year, the Greenway Challenge athletes run, paddle and bike on a course designed to bring you through one of the most beautiful and historic regions of New England, the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor located between Worcester, MA and Pawtucket, RI.

Teams of athletes run, paddle, and bike an approximate 50-60 mile course as a relay team in one of several divisions. Teams can be comprised of up to nine members in any combination of men, women, and youth (16 or older). Athletes in our Ironman/woman divisions complete the entire course on their own with the help of one support person who moves equipment between segments.

Thank you to our Sponsors: TITANIUM - UniBank
